Shakespeare's Theatre: A History examines the theatre spaces used
by William Shakespeare, and explores these spaces in relation to
the social and political framework of the Elizabethan era. The text
journeys from the performing spaces of the provincial inns, guild
halls and houses of the gentry of the Bard's early career, to the
purpose-built outdoor playhouses of London, including the Globe,
the Theatre, and the Curtain, and the royal courts of Elizabeth and
James I. The author also discusses the players for whom Shakespeare
wrote, and the positioning--or dispositioning--of audience members
in relation to the stage. Widely and deeply researched, this
fascinating volume is the first to draw on the most recent
archaeological work on the remains of the Rose and the Globe, as
well as continuing publications from the Records of Early English
Drama project. The book also explores the contentious view that the
'plot' of The Seven Deadly Sins (part II), provides unprecedented
insight into the working practices of Shakespeare's company and
includes a complete and modernized version of the 'plot'.
Throughout, the author relates the practicalities of early modern
playing to the evolving systems of aristocratic patronage and royal
licensing within which they developed Insightful and engaging,
Shakespeare's Theatre is ideal reading for undergraduates,
postgraduates, and scholars of literature and theatre studies.
